More than 10,000 hidden structures in the Amazon - Nature Today
WEBMore than 10,000 hidden structures in the Amazon. 07-OCT-2023 - Hidden in the Amazon forest are thousands of remnants of ancient civilizations. These hidden structures, also called geoglyphs, reveal much about the history of the Amazon. A major study of these geoglyphs and their relationship to the forest was published in Science last Thursday.

Nature Today | Heat and drought slow down tropical tree growth
WEBThe study is based on a new global network consisting of over 14,000 tree ring data series from 350 locations across the tropics. The researchers found that the effect of drier and hotter years is larger in more arid or warm regions. This suggests that climate change may increase the sensitivity of tropical trees to climatic fluctuations.
Tree reefs become oases of life in the subtidal Wadden Sea
WEBResearchers have constructed artificial reefs made of pear-trees in the subtidal Dutch Wadden Sea in a novel experiment as part of the project Wadden Mosaic. The first surveys now show that the reefs are teeming with life. Seaweeds, barnacles, sea squirts, anemones, and bryozoans cover the tree reefs, while fish are five times more abundant on the reefs compared to the open sandy seafloor.
Nature Today | Tropical vegetation benefits less from elevated ...
WEBSequestration of carbon from the atmosphere into tropical vegetation has been suggested as a mitigating factor of anthropogenically elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. A new study now shows that over the long term there is actually a stronger role for moisture change than for atmospheric carbon dioxide in determining tropical woody …
How do trees survive dry and hot summers? Leaf lifespan and …
WEBLeaf legacy. Tree species differ in leaf lifespan, ranging from less than one year to more than ten years. The study shows that conifers with relatively short leaf lifespans suffered less from dry and hot summers: these trees apparently stand a good chance of rapidly replacing damaged and dropped leaves with new healthy ones.

WEBThey also help protect the coast by stabilising sediment and reducing wave energy. With the return of the large herbivore – the sea turtle – it is important to quantify its impact on the ecosystem services a seagrass meadow can provide. Often these services are measured separately, but in the new study, the most essential services have been ...
